A party of eighteen Companions from Scotland and London will be working in Kibera, Nairobi in February. They also hope to visit the Health Workers in other slums.
The Lamu Hospital projects are going well and Alice sends the following update:
1. There was a boat crash in early January with many killed or still missing The patients were brought to the Lamu District Hospital and were able to be treated there due to the new equipment we have provided - lights, operating bed etc... etc...
2. The Doctors' House is in stage of completion and the volunteer doctors from the UK are due to arrive in early February. I am going down there on Monday for 3 nights to make sure it is all ok.
3. Big medical camp upcoming in mid February with free medical treatment for all. Last year 4,500 patients were treated by volunteer doctors from around the world. This is only possible now due to the new equipment and facilities that are available thanks to the kind and generous donations we have received from you.
